THE present Legislature should
look well after repairs of the capitol
building. The American reports that
about ton of cornicing fell from the
West side of the building Tuesday,
and more of it was looking shaky.
The building is too valuable to be
allowed to damage for want of at
tention.

1t so happened that on the fateful
Tuesday there were more Republicans
struggling around the streets who
accidentally heard that an election
was to be held than there were Demo-
Gratis. In a number of precints the
polls were not opened, and no votes
cast at all.-Nashville American.
The election was advertised in all
three of the Nashville dailies for
several days previous. In the above
extract the American tacitly admits
that the voters of Nashville are sadly
in need of "more funds for school pur-
pOses," or else don't read their home

Professor Humphrey, Of Cambridge.
has prepared series Of tables which
contain some interesting information
about centenarians. Of fifty-two per
sons whom he mentioned at least
eleven-two males and nine females
actually attained the age Of 100. 9th
ers attained very nearly TO the hum
dred years Only one Of the persons
reached los years. while one died at
the alleged age Of LOG. OF the fifty
two persons, thirty-six were women
and sixteen men Professor Humph-
roy tells Us that the comparative immu-
nifty Of women from the exposures
and risks % which men are subjected.
and the greater temperance in eating
and drinking exhibited by women are
the chief points in determining their
higher chances Of longevity. Out Of
the thirty-six women twenty-six had
been married. and eleven had borne
large families. Of the twenty-six who
had been wives eight had married be-
fore they were 20. one At l6. and two
at IL.
Twelve Of the fifty>two centenarians
were discovered TO have been the eld-
est children Of their parents This
fact. adds Dr. Humphrey, does not
agree with popular notions that first
children inherit feebleness Of consti-
tuition. nor with the opinion Of racing
stables. which l. decidedly against the
idea that .tirstlings" are to be de-
pended on for good performances on
the course The centenarians gener-
ally regarded were Of spare build

Humphrey. ..that the frame which il

vent
OF the fifty-two aged people, twenty
four only had no teeth, the average
number Of teeth remaining being four
or five. Long hours Of sleep were
notable among these old people, the
period Of repose averaging nine hours.
while ouf-of-door exercise in plenty
and early rising are to be noted among
the factors Of prolonged life. One Of
the centcnarians drank % excess on
festive occasions;- another was free
